[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 4103579, member: 85693"]Through sheer chance, I keep getting Constans II folles, and I keep coming back to this thread to figure them out. This should be a "perma-thread". Is there such a thing? Anyway, I just got my first non-countermark issues from Syracuse (three of them!) and I thought I'd toss them out here, one of the three being a bit of a puzzle: These two seem to be SB 1109; DOC 180 / Class 5 [ATTACH=full]1066352[/ATTACH] This one, I'm not so sure of. It is in pretty poor condition, and is overstruck on what might be an XXXX follis of Phocas? The overstrike's under type might explain the very weird hat Constans appears to be wearing. 25 mm / 4.49 grams. I am leaning towards SB 1107, DOC 178. But one problem: mine has an exergual line over the SCL. SB 1108 is a possibility, but it has a cross over the M, not the "TKw-like monogram" (labrum). Help, knowledge, etc. always appreciated: [ATTACH=full]1066353[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
